The Lake District Foundation has welcomed a new trustee.
Dan Visser, director of sales and marketing for Langdale Leisure, has joined the board of the conservation charity.
He said: “I am delighted to join the board at the Lake District Foundation. I have been working hard to develop and support a sustainable visitor economy here in the Lake District and Cumbria through my position at Langdale and as non-executive director and vice chair of Cumbria Tourism.
“The opportunity to support the team at the Lake District Foundation care for our special landscape is one I am very much looking forward to.”
The Lake District Foundation works with businesses, visitors and other donors to support conservation, environmental and cultural heritage projects and programmes of work to help look after the Lake District National Park.
